Marble Chiffon Cake

Hooray … I just had my oven repaired. Now, the first pastry I want to try out from this oven is the simple chiffon cake. No no no, I want to have more than just a plain chiffon cake. Marble chiffon cake it is.

Baking Temperature: 200C without fan

Baking Time: 30 minutes

Mould: 8-inch chiffon mould

Ingredients:

(A)

150g     Superfine Flour

1 tsp     Baking Powder

1 tbsp   Milk Powder

½ tsp    Salt

(B)

45ml     Sunflower Oil

4          Egg Yolks

100ml   Water

1 tsp    Vanilla Essence

90g      Castor Sugar

(C)

4          Egg Whites

40g       Sugar

¼ tsp   Cream of Tartar

(D)

2 tbsps Cocoa Powder

2 tbsps Hot Water       

Method:

1. Dissolve cocoa powder in hot water. Set aside.
2. In a clean bowl, mix egg yolks with water. Then, add in 90g sugar until sugar is dissolved. Then, add in sunflower oil and mix till well-combined.
3. Sift in superfine flour, baking powder, milk powder and salt. Fold till well-balanced.
4. In another clean mixing bowl, beat egg whites. Add in sugar gradually when you see bubbles appear in egg whites. Then, add in cream of tartar.
5. Whisk until soft peaks is form.
6. Fold 1/2 of egg whites mixture into egg yolk mixture. Fold in the remaining egg whites mixture into egg yolk mixture. Mix well.
7. Roughly fold in cocoa mixture into the batter. (* I made a mistake which I only fold in cocoa mixture in ½ of the batter. It ended half of the cake with pattern and another half is totally plain.)
8. Bake at 200C for 30 minutes.
